PESTS:
SPIDERS
 It
is impossible to eliminate spiders from
any area for a long period of time.
Because spiders do not congregate in one
spot, and because of the way the young are
often dispersed, once pesticides wear off,
new spiders will colonise the area.
However, it is possible to eliminate some
of their favourite haunts, as well as
restricting their access to the
home.
Some
ideas are
- Fit
weather strips to the bottom of doors
to prevent ground crawling spiders from
entering.
- Ensure
that all flyscreens are properly fitted
and free of tears and
holes.
- Make
sure that the area surrounding the home
is free of clutter.
Almost
all spiders possess venom, and biting is a
way of subduing prey, of defending
themselves. Though many have fangs that
are too small to pierce human skin, there
are some that can and do inflict painful
bites, sometimes with serious
consequences.
Avoid
bites by
- Wearing
shoes when walking outside at
night
- Wearing
shoes and sturdy gloves when
gardening
- Educating
children to LOOK BUT NOT
TOUCH
ALWAYS
TRY TO CATCH THE SPIDER RESPONSIBLE AND
KEEP IT FOR IDENTIFICATION PURPOSES.
